Zelda VA Sets the Record Straight on Link Relationship

Love may not be in the air for Link and Princess Zelda, according to recent clarification from Patricia Summersett, the voice actor for Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Although the bond between the two heroes is undeniable throughout the franchise, with their shared destiny to defend the kingdom of Hyrule, Summersett's comments have sparked debate among fans about whether their relationship is strictly platonic or romantic.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Link and Zelda are shown to be even closer after the events of Breath of the Wild. This has led fans to ship the pair as a romantic couple, particularly due to the moments provided in both games. While some are excited about the possibility of a Link/Zelda romance, others prefer that they remain just friends.

After a heated discussion, Patricia Summersett took to Twitter to clarify her previous statements about the relationship between Link and Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. She insists that her words were misconstrued by news outlets and that she didn't necessarily mean that Link and Zelda were romantically involved. Rather, their relationship could be described as caring, similar to that of family members, friends, colleagues, or even romantic partners.

Regardless of whether or not Link and Zelda are in a romantic relationship, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has proven to be a massive success for the Nintendo Switch since its release a few weeks ago. Fans have praised the game for its open-world gameplay and innovative crafting mechanics, and sales of Tears of the Kingdom have already surpassed those of fellow major open-world game Elden Ring. The game's crafting mechanics, including item and vehicle creation, have been particularly popular, with players sharing their amazing creations across the internet.

The bond between the two lead characters is the driving force behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, surpassing even the impressive fanmade battle machines and vast open-world landscape. Despite assumptions that Link and Zelda are romantically involved, Patricia Summersett suggests that their relationship is open to interpretation. Ultimately, fans are free to form their own perceptions of the connection between Link and Zelda. The game is currently available for Nintendo Switch.
